Michael Schuster: Inky purple; strongly ripe, almost slightly raisiny character on the nose; concentrated, very ripe black fruit, minerally underneath; rich, warm, powerful, and finely tannic; very warm, fulsome ripe fruit, almost sweet; you feel the alcoholic weight, but the wine is not hard or hot. Long to taste, long, and warm to finish with that sightly “raisiny” character to the tannins clear; very good, sweet fruit length. May well close up and harden. Likely always to be a bit bluff and muscular, though not coarse. Impressive, but atypical. 2015–25. 15/15.5
